Australia has been tied to America for decades and it has been a disaster. Military wise the Australian government has followed America like a little lap dog into several wars that neither America the big “I am and you will do what I say” country or Australia has defeated the enemy and even now with this Covid virus the Great??? Scott Morrison has followed the lead of America. Both Trump and Pomeo stated that this virus started in a lab and Scott Morrison quickly jumped on the band wagon and both the American leaders quickly shut their mouths and left it all to the stupid Australian PM Scott Morrison. The reason why America shut their mouths was that their own state department told them that the lab was being controlled and financed by America. As for the military conflicts, Korea; America lost and left a country divided, Vietnam; America lost, The Middle East; America lost, remember the rubbish that little Johnny Howard carried on about with the weapons of mass destruction, of which none were ever found, and now the war in Afghanistan; all those Australia soldiers lives sacrificed for what and now the cowardly way that both Australia and America deserted all those people that helped them during this conflict. Australia and America are a disgrace to humanity. Australia had a ship building industry but did Australia build their own warships leading up to the Vietnam war, NO, they bought the American Charles F Adams which had to be dry docked as soon as they arrived in Australia and have the stern rebuilt to take the Ikara missile because Australia was too stupid to have the ship strengthened before it was delivered or even build them in Australia by Australian workers. Australia the arse lickers of America or is Australia the 52 state of America
